In a move to support local businesses facing significant challenges, Persol Career Corporation has officially launched a new partnership model known as 'HiPro Sharing'. This initiative aims to help regional financial institutions (RFIs) harness the power of professional talent to address the unique business hurdles faced by local enterprises. The HiPro Sharing framework will not only facilitate the integration of skilled professionals into regional businesses but will also provide comprehensive support throughout the process.
The newly introduced 'HiPro Sharing' model stands out as it is distinctly different from traditional business matching models. While those models connect RFIs with customer companies to facilitate talent recruitment, HiPro Sharing allows financial institutions to lead the proposal and implementation of professional manpower solutions directly. Persol Career will work in collaboration with these financial institutions, tapping into its extensive talent database to provide the right professionals best suited to resolve specific business challenges.
Background and Objectives
The accelerating decline in the labor force, coupled with chronic talent shortages, has led to over 60% of local companies feeling the strain of workforce inadequacies. In this context, the demand for specialized professionals who can manage executive roles and advance digital transformation (DX) initiatives has surged. Responding to these needs, the Financial Services Agency revised supervision guidelines in 2018, clarifying the involvement of financial institutions in talent introduction services for their client companies. As a result, support initiatives have been increasingly adopted throughout the sector, offering a variety of ways to connect freelance professionals and businesses.
To enhance these efforts, it is crucial that financial institutions not only understand the business challenges faced by local companies but can also propose and implement solutions involving professional talent effectively. Currently, the capabilities and structures in place are still insufficient to fully support these endeavors. The HiPro Sharing model ultimately aims to establish a more integrated framework where RFIs can systematically address local business needs by providing immediate access to necessary talent. By collaborating through this model, HiPro aims to assist financial institutions in co-creating solutions for local business management challenges while integrating its diverse service offerings, including the recruitment platform 'doda'.
Partnership with Eighty-Two Staffing Services
Eighty-Two Staffing Services, a company associated with Eighty-Two Group, has previously collaborated with HiPro. Their new partnership commences with the deployment of the HiPro Sharing model, which will allow them to leverage RFIs such as Eighty-Two Nagano Bank as intermediaries to support local businesses effectively. Through this partnership, HiPro will handle the selection and matching of professionals along with ongoing support activities, thereby developing a flexible support system tailored for the diverse management concerns faced by local companies, including succession planning and DX initiatives.
